I did not always believe in designer handbags. Like the rest of the world, I never felt that designer bags were worth the prices they were sold at. That was the day I found my first Coach bag. Ever since I have become a die hard fan of Coach; not only do I like the brand’s history but also the quality, style, and variety that each bag has.
In this post, I will tell how I became a Coach bags lover, give examples of some of my favorite models, and end with a Coach bag that is still on my wishlist.
My First Coach Bag: The Start of Something Special
Coach was not my first choice of hand bag. It was an accident. I was in an outlet mall on a weekend getaway when I entered a Coach store to “have a look.” You know how that goes.
It was in this Coach store that I saw the Coach Rowan Satchel made of signature canvas with leather trim. It was classic, structured, and beautifully made. I did not intend to buy anything that day but the moment I tried it on in front of the mirror, I was hooked. The price was reasonable for other luxury brands and the quality was good too.
The Rowan Satchel became my daily bag. It was just the right size for me – enough for my wallet, phone, lip balm and a mini notebook and it always made any outfit look good.
What is it about Coach Bags that makes them so special?
Before moving on to more models, let me tell you why I have remained faithful to Coach.
- Timeless designs: Coach bags are always in the correct direction of the times. Their designs are timeless and never go out of style; whether it is a crossbody, tote or shoulder bag.
- High-quality craftsmanship: You can feel the difference. It is soft and it is not so weak that it can get spoilt quickly. The stitching is very good and neat.
- Affordable luxury: With Coach bags, you get a lot of value for your money while still looking elegant and being able to perform various functions.
I love it because it is easy to change the look of a Coach bag to suit any occasion whether it is work, a casual meeting, or a night out. It adapts to every look.
The Coach Bags I Own (So Far)
After the Rowan Satchel, I started buying more bags. Each bag is a part of my story and it is used for a different reason every day.
1. Coach Tabby Shoulder Bag 26
The Coach Tabby is one of those bags that can make any outfit. My Coach Tabby 26 is in chalk white and I like its structured, boxy shape with the signature “C” hardware. It is very 80s but it is still cool.
I like it most because it can be carried as a crossbody, shoulder bag, or handbag. I have worn it with my jeans and tee, and also with my little black dress for a night out.

2. Coach Field Tote 30
Since I am always on the move, I needed a big tote for work and other duties. The Field Tote 30 was the answer to that. It is made of coated canvas which makes it very strong and the leather trim makes it look expensive. I can carry my laptop, planner, makeup pouch and a water bottle inside; it is that big.
I have mine in the signature khaki print with oxblood leather details. Stylish and practical!

3. Coach Nolita 19
When I’m going out or going for a short coffee break, the Nolita 19 is my mini must-have. It is small but it is powerful, it can fit all my cards, keys and lip gloss. And it can easily fit in a bigger tote. I got mine in soft pink, and it always earns compliments.

The Coach Bag I’m Dreaming Of
Now, let’s talk about the one that got away—or, more accurately, the one still on my wishlist: the Coach Pillow Tabby 18 in butter yellow. Since I discovered it on Instagram my mind has been consumed by the image. The design features adorable details while the plush material makes it look both fashionable and everlasting. The outfit gets a happy boost from this color and the soft leather appearance looks like pure fantasy. My upcoming self-birthday present will be this item which I have been patiently saving money for.

Final Thoughts
I never expected to become a Coach bags enthusiast but I am grateful for this development. The purchase of Coach bags brought me both better fashion choices and membership in a design-focused community that values both quality and self-expression.
You should definitely purchase your first Coach bag if you're thinking about it or want to grow your collection.
